Proposed Location: Sydney (CBD)

Proposed location: Sydney


Why is Sydney a great place to host Ethereum events?

Because Australia is now exporting financial services better than anyone and not just to Asia (Singapore) but to the world.

Ethereum has a place in the Intellectual Property arena of Australia (trademarks and patents) as new classes cater for the likes of ERC721 (NFT’s) inter alia.

Superannuation Industry (by 2032 a 10 trillion dollar industry,) will be investing in Crypto (stated by finance industry regulator ASIC) and confirmation can be found through its regulator APRA.
